State Poultry Plants to
Get Federal Inspection
Poultry plants operating
wholly within Pennsylvania will
be subject to federal inspection
beginning October 31. Ap
proximately 130 plants will be
affected.
Officials of the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture’s Consumer
and Marketing Service said
Pennsylvania officials requested
federal inspection last month.
The Federal Poultry Products
Inspection Act requires, in part,
that intrastate poultry plants be
federally inspected in states that
do not establish an inspection
program at least equal to the
federal one.
The Act gave the States a
deadline of August 18, 1970, to
achieve “equal to” status, with
provisions for a one-year ex
tension of the deadline if they
were making sufficient progress.
Pennsylvania was granted such
an extension, but state officials
told USDA in August they were
not in a position to develop the
required program before the
final deadline.
Federal inspectors have just
completed a survey of Penn
sylvanis’s intrastate poultry
plants to determine the nature of
their operations and inspection
staffing needs. Inspection
supervisors have been working
with plant operators, explaining
the details of inspection and
helping them plan changes in
plants, facilities and operations
necessary to meet Federal
requirements.
